I am having a VERY difficult time with Klonipin withdrawal

Glad to hear you’re improving . Omg .. I hope that doesn’t happen to me lol .. so it’s been 3 weeks now without taking one clonazepam (klonopin) and second day of tapering from 75 mg twice per day ( taken for nerve pain left over from shingles ) just worked out without knowing .. that it took the place of cpam . So have only been on Pregabalin for 3-4 weeks . So far just down to 1 (75) mg tablet per day but for 3 days .. so far ( knock ✊ on wood ) no wds ? Might be a little hard when I come off of second pill but they’re going to cut that one in half ..,so I’ll take 35mgs for a few days and see how I do ? Then the other 35 mgs .. they honestly don’t think I’ll have a problem bc the cpam should be out of my system and the Pregabalin, was only taken for 4 weeks at a quite low dosage per day ? But are still tapering just bc of my past problems with cpam . I will keep the cpam , just in case ..,but hoping I don’t have to use them ever again . 🤞

I hope you never have to take the cpam again either. And hopefully you will be fortunate and skip any withdrawal symptoms. After 3 weeks, sounds like your doing well. Drug just started doing number on me after only a month or so into taking it. One of the symptoms disappeared within a few days of last dose, while tremors/shaking continue but seem to be slowly getting better. Not happy about ever being prescribed this. Doctor and I had a phone conversation about cpam and it was obvious to me he doesn't understand it. Says he has prescribed to 300 patients. I told him he's lucky but many of his patients are surely dependent on it, I didn't really hold back at this point. He didn't have response for that comment. I should have asked him how he could possibly prescribe drug to patients long term, when it was only meant to take for 2 to 4 weeks max? It just didn't come to me at the time of phone call or I would have as I would have liked to hear his response? Done with him. Best of luck!
